Nine Months in Africa!

Hello!!!! Easter was nice but
nothing too special happened besides what seemed like an added measure of the
spirit.

So to answer your question, the last
lesson we taught was to a recent convert and we taught him about the temple.

We just had a zone conference about
becoming a completely consecrated missionary and to tell you the truth...I have
to repent. I have to change. I have to give it my ALL and not just the time
that we are required but really EVERYTHING! Every ounce of energy I have is to
be used for the work.WOW! That’s a big
thing! :P Haha

Our boarding is nice. Its right next
to the other missionaries so there are 4 of us. We have to fetch water from
their boarding though, cause ours is terrible. Haha

In answer to your question of what
we eat, we have meat sometimes and we have rice and we have bread and peanut
butter. It's nice :) We make most the food ourselves.

I’m sorry I can't send any pictures
home because the flash drive I had is lost and I can't send any from my card
because the internet and places here are also bad…soooo maybe wait till I am in
South Africa? Sorry :(....Here....it's a problem sometimes.

So this week we didn't have much
time. We went to South Africa for a zone conference and I got to see many of my
friends and we were able to sit at our Presidents feet and listen to the words
he taught. This conference really has helped me to change. AND! We got
McDonalds!!!!!!! It was great!!! :) We also helped a man and his family this
week. They needed us to plow with them using our spades...but when we got there
he said change of plans....I need to work in my fields so we went to his fields
and cut grass, etc...in a very primitive way haha literally....African. Along
with us not having much time this week, many people were gone visiting families
for the Holiday.

Well, I can't wait to hear you all
soon on Mother’s day! Love you all! Have a nice week!
